School Attendance (3 Viewers)

[pritnep]

Are the reasons you have been so absence from school valid? Do you have proof/evidence/certificates? Have you been keeping up with your work? Handing things in on time?

If you truely feel you are in the right (i.e. where absence with good valid reason) then call the department of education. I'm sure they can do something about it if you have a good reason.

I feel like skipping classes back in school more than in uni now...
but the attendance check is there for the former.

Hmm they should have given you a warning. I'm pretty sure you need 80% attendence (board of studies requirement).

 

[danz90]

My school has warned us that if our attendance drops below 85% it is possible that we will be ineligible to receive a HSC.

wtf

thats fully off topic and got nothign to do with anything, stop wasting my time

In the same way your school doesn't want to waste their time on you?

I am pretty sure its got something to do with the hours of study needed in each of your subjects.

Like say Business needs you to do 240 indictive hours.
If you have been away heaps and by the HSC you will have only done 200 they would have grounds to ask you to leave.

My school told us you need at least 85% attendance or otherwise you may not be able to sit the HSC.

My attendance is getting worse, been taking approx a day off each week =/

lol nice

Yerp they can kick you out of the school for poor attendance, anything below 85%, then you are screwed. This includes, partial day absences (not attending cetain periods, arriving late to school, not signing in properly) and full day absences. But it does not count the explained absences (i think).

A couple of students in my year have had to sign out, due to their poor attendance. Ohh well, it gets ridof competition, i guess.

There's actually a new rule starting from next week that states your parents can get prosecuted if a valid reason is not provided for an absence from school.

A valid reason is 'My son was absence because he did not feel up to going to school due to personal circumstances'. They can't ask what they are, well they can but you can lie or say none of your business.

I am sure there would be around the automatic sign out though.
Are you under 18 and living with your parents?

I haven't heard of this new policy. Although it could be implemented.
Just make sure you go to school from now on.

Thats not right, organise a meeting and sort it out.

Bludging is for university, not high school.
